Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan and Singapore native has pledged to commit S$10 million (US$7.25 million) over the next year to the gaming and esports scene in his home country.

The funding will go towards supporting esports teams in Singapore and investing in gaming and esports companies that are either in Singapore or founded by Singaporeans, Tan said on an announcement on his Facebook page.

Singapore has long been one of the gaming and esports hotbeds in SEA, with the likes of Daryl “iceiceice” Koh Pei Xiang in Dota 2, Ho “Xian” Kun Xian in Street Fighter, and Amraan “Amraan” Gani in FIFA representing the country in tournaments around the world.
